I will try both and take pix..these runners don't use much fabric, so might even add the batting to FILL up a QT jar!

Could you fit all the fabric in the jar? I can see attaching the pattern with a string around the neck of the jar but the fabric is inside right? I would totally fall for the packaging gimmick and buy it right up! I am such a sucker for clever and at a charity thing-Oh yes!

I may be a little off, but wouldn't jars be harder to mail?

these will be sold at my local bazaars..I wouldn't chance mailing jars...the USPS is losing too many things these days..and breaking even more!

I got a quilt kit in a mason jar a few years back. 2 in fact. They were for a wall hanging of canned veggies, you know like the bugs in a jar quilts. Just the quilt top. Gave one to my sister and still have the other. Very cute as the seller tied a bow a raffia around the top. I think they would sell well.

I bought one for a wall hanging of fruit in jars and it was in a jar. That's what caught my attention.

hey..I have tons of those veggie fabric FQ's... might have to design a quilt using them and put them into a jar...great idea!

I think the jars would be a fun package for them. I once bought some small wall hangings that were packaged in paper coffee cups. I thought they were very cute.

I think putting them in a jar would be so unique that you would sell more that you would if you used plastic bags.
